Pokemon Violet - Nintendo Switch

Pretty decent gameplay for a pokemon game, kinda easy even for kids, but overall it's better than Sword&Shield. Now, regarding performance and graphics in Switch 1, looks horrible, the performance is horrible, there's popping everywhere and the shadow quality is horrible. I got it on clearance so I don't regret buying it that much but I'd never buy this game full price, ever.

My son loves this game, great graphics, easy play

My son loved getting this game for his birthday. There's also an add-on pack you can buy to enhance the gaming experiance. I'm never let down buying pokemon video games.

Pokemon 90s baby right here. So to me it’s all nostalgic

This game has the potential to be amazing with an engaging storyline but the lagging and glitches make it far less enjoyable. The open world twist on classic Pokémon is awesome, but the fact that a lot of glitches and lagging happen throughout gameplay make for an annoying experience. Not sure how two years later they haven’t created a patch for some of the gameplay issues.

This game is beyond S tier- it's magical, joyful, and has endless content. Similarities from Scarlet aside, I like how in this game you get to ride Miraidon, and his tummy turns into a neon motorcycle wheel that looks insane as you drive around. The soundtrack and story is amazing as well, and in my opinion the current pokemon community and fan base is not worthy to play it. So many berate occasional glitches, overlooking a funny and very anime sounding story at times! The dlc especially with Carmine is so funny, and worth the game for herz Terapagos, and all the new shiny Pokemon available. I have about 500 hrs on Scarlet, and 40 on Violet. There's so much I haven't even touched yet, like the school storylines with the teachers, getting ribbons for all my pokemon, etc. I personally like the professor in Scarlet a little better, but I do like the one here too. There are a ton of version exclusive paradox pokemon that are great here too. All in all, the best pokemon game imo.

It’s no Pokémon Sword and Shield but it’s pretty good. It’s easier to catch Pokémon. But it can be hard to beat I’ve only beat it once I beat Sword/Shield like 13 times

It’s a fun game. I bought this to play with my kiddo since he has the Pokémon Scarlet version. There’s a few glitches that I’ve encountered, but what game doesn’t have those from time to time. I do like how you can explore the map, and how it’s different from the typical linear Pokémon games back in the day.

Super fun! Has kept me occupied for hours on these long rainy days we’ve had! My kids enjoy playing it as well! Definitely recommend, although it is a little laggy and glitchy at times, the story and gameplay overlap that with great graphics and overall fun!

Bought as a gift for my son. Glitchy and not worth the money.

Save your money and skip Scarlet and Violer . I played this for almost 2hrs and I am upset I can never get my time back. For reference, I have played almost every Pokémon game (I usually pick one version release for the new ones like Violet over Scarlet, and then Shield over sword, etc). There is so much reading and watching unskippable cutscenes from the very beginning, and it's all text dialog! In the beginning you would get stuck with a 5 minute cutscene, then you walk down a road for less than a minute, and congrats on your new 7 minute cutscene. Realistically, I probably played for 10-15minutes during that 2hrs because of the cutscenes. This game was already almost a year old when I bought it yet I still encounters 2 glitches. *Spoiler starting*: When I had to walk to the professor with the 3 starter pokemon, Sprigatito got stuck behind the plants to the left and I couldn't get it to follow me at all. I had to restart the game, which fixed the glitch. Next, why am I meeting a legendary pokemon so early on and why does is transform into a bike?!?! I assume it's for the little kids who think toy cars/bikes are awesome but I did not like this. During the cutscene where you fight the houndoom with Miraidon my game glitched again, and I couldn't attack. It was just frozen- *spoiler ends*. I can't imagine how many other glitches there are. Now my child plays it and she definitely has more patience. When I see her play it's still cutscene after cutscene. If I wanted to watch a Pokémon movie I would just do that.

Brought this for my best friends birthday. She loves the game.

Item came damaged probably a defect in craftsman’s ship being made not targets fault was helpful with refund process

I love this game it is incredible and very fun to play good job target

I’m My son seems to like it. However, I chose this off his list of wanted games for the sole reason of it being the only one on the list that was supposed to be multiplayer. The description specifically says multiplayer, 1-4 players, and online and local multiplayer. It is only multiplayer online with other users. I am disappointed that he and his sister, who also loves Pokémon, cannot play together when the Target app description gave me the impression that they would be able to do so.

My 12 year old son says this is the best Pokémon game he’s played this far!

Bought this for Christmas for granddaughter. She said it is captivating and much better than the prior game

I absolutely was obsessed with this game. I love the story line! Great game!!!

Had so much fun playing, nonstop game play and brought me back to good old days. Only thing I was map was easier to use but other than that cool game!

This game is glitchier and clunkier than all the previous Pokemon games. Sword & Shield are far better games - more dynamic, more engaging, and easier to play without the distracting glitches, clips, and issues. Don't buy this.
